hi....im able to set a name to style spec using the following code..

set name of style spec "chap_bm" to "CHAP"

but if i take the list of style spec in a variable and assign that variable it is not working..

set paralist to name of every style spec
repeat with i from 1 to count of items in paralist
set mylist to item i of paralist as string
set name of style spec mylist to replacelist
end repeat

Here replacelist is the variable containing the list of styles.This is not working..please help me..

hi.. i cant able to set the name of style sheet using your code..

set name of style spec mystylename to "H1"

set name of style spec mystylename to myvar

it's not working..

Hi,

Try the below code. Here, usually can't change the Normal style name. It is first name when you the style spec. So keep it's name as it is and change the remaining.

Start the loop also from 2....

tell application "QuarkXPress"
set replacelist to {"Normal", "vaasu", "vaasu1", "vaasu2"} as list
tell document 1
set paralist to name of every style spec
repeat with i from 2 to count of items in paralist
set mylist to item i of paralist
set name of style spec mylist to item i of replacelist
end repeat
end tell
end tell

Let me know, is it working....
